| Phase inverting preamps Ok, you guys are right. If major manufacturers like CJ don't use the term correctly, it silly of me to think that I could have any impact. Don Quixote, windmills, that sort of thing.On second thought, it has always bothered me that the weatherman ... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Bowbow, I understood what you posted and I agree except for the part about DC current. You are right that it does not feed current in both directions at the same time. The current is AC, it alternates. First it flows in one direction and then the ... | |
| I need help with getting monies back This is a legal question, not a stereo question. You need the advice of an attorney, not an audiophile. | |
| Phase inverting preamps Sugarbrie, I think you still have phase and polarity mixed up. I read the web site you point out and he describes it correctly. But your explanation does not mesh with his. I do not intend to be picking on you as most of the other peolpe who have ... | |
| Phase inverting preamps Paulwp, It seems to me that if we are to have an intelligent discussion about all things audio, then we should use the correct terminology. Since phase and polarity are so frequently misused and confused, I thought I would try to help by offering ... | |
| Phase inverting preamps There seems to be a lot of confusion about this. There always is. Mr. Ghost is correct.Phase and polarity are NOT the same thing. A phase shift is a shift in time. A change in polarity is a change from a positive to a negative, or vice versa. A si... | |
| purpose of dual rca inputs on mono amp? They are probably connected directly together for biamping. One would be connected to the output of the preamp like normal. Then, instead having to run another interconnect from preamp to the other power amp, you just use a short interconnect betw... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Sean,The Lamhorns use Lowthers or their equivalent. I went with a Lowther because the AER driver is 16 ohm and my amp doesn't have a 16 ohm tap. If you are looking to spend this kind of money, the Lamhorns should definitely be on your short list.h... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly I let most of my fur fly about 20 years ago so will not be able to participate in that part. I am now in the SET/ single driver camp. I think it easier to get there with that approach than trying to integrate a bunch of drivers and crossover compo... | |
| Can an FM Tuner be "hot-rodded" long distance??? FM radio frequencies travel pretty much in a straight line. So, except in extremely unusual weather conditions, the limit for reception is the horizon. This is usually much less than 130 miles unless you have an extremely tall antenna or live on t... | |
| Voltage Gain Perhaps (how's that for a worthless comment?). For a given load and input level, the 29 dB amp will deliver .4 dB more power. It is not ideal, but nothing in audio is. You are going to get greater variations in power delivered to your listening po... | |
| Pick your favorite, and tell me why... Tenor saxophone is a pretty broad category. Ben Webster, Illinois Jacquet, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Zoot Simms, Sonny Stitt, Gene Ammons, Johnny Griffin, Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, Charles Lloyd, John Coltrane, and about a hundred more excelle... | |
| Quiet fan to cool amp and preamp? I have my wife use a folding paper fan and wave it over my amps during listening sessions. Very quiet and inexpensive. As an added bonus, I can send her to fetch a beverage when needed. Of course, if she ever logs on to this site, I will be listen... | |
| 0dB gain question One fine point on gain and attenuation. To attenuate means to reduce. Gain, on the other hand, does not mean to increase. It can be either positive or negative or zero. A gain of +dB means to increase, a gain of -dB means to reduce, and a gain of ... |
